Conference Day #2

This week will be another great week in 4th grade!  We are busy readers, writers, mathematicians, and historians. 

Chapter 4 in math will begin on Wednesday or Thursday after we spend a few days reading and solving word problems.  This seems to be an area that my mathematical friends could use some practice with. 

We will complete our study of Questioning this week as well as we practice answering questions from using short texts. I will be a sticker for complete sentences.  It is better to master this skill now!

Our Realistic Fiction pieces are complete and we will be moving onto a quick unit on Fiction. My writer's will be asked to follow the same steps we took with our realistic fiction pieces and complete the writing cycle on a topic of their choosing.  (They don't know this yet and WILL be excited!)

Our study of the Native American's will come to a conclusion this week and we will have a SS test on Thursday.  A study guide will be coming home on Tuesday along with flash cards for vocabulary words.  I encourage students to spend some time studying on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

Don't forget to verify the great reading that your students are completing at home on Reading Rewards each week by Monday morning! 

I look forward to more conferences on Wednesday.  It was wonderful to meet with my first 11 families last week.
